THUY

no one must ever see

this thing you're showing me

that bastard fouls our name



KIM

my baby's not to blame

for what I've done



THUY

you must decide upon

which side you're really on

you whored to make this kid



KIM

that isn't what I did

don't touch my son



THUY

you must seem how it is when you're my wife

having that child of his brands us for life

no alternative! This child cannot live!



(THUY pulls a knife, threatening the boy.)



KIM

no!

you will not touch him

don't touch my boy

he's what I live for

he's my only joy



KIM THUY

you will not touch him he is my enemy

it's he turns you from me

don't touch my boy erase him from your life

even your memory

he's what I live for he's one drop in a flood

left here to taint our blood

he's my only joy our marriage bond was sworn

forget that he was born



(KIM pulls out a gun)



KIM THUY

of course you have a gun

don't touch my little boy and now you'll shoot your cousin'

and it's a U.S. gun

and do not test my will a gun that lost the war

you're the corrupted one

I'm warning you, for him I'll kill go on and shoot! Don't wait

to save your bastard son

you must not hesitate



KIM

the earth moves where I stand

I feel the turning of a wheel

I feel nothing in my hand

not even the feel of steel

you will not take my child...



THUY

you don't know how to kill



KIM

I have no other choice

what I must do I will
